Brereton had only been on the pitch for 12 minutes when he scored against Holland, pouncing on a rebound inside the six-yard box after good work from fellow sub Marcus Edwards and Ryan Sessegnon and forcing the ball into the net.

And head coach Keith Downing was pleased his subs made an impact.

“It’s an 18-man squad. We are very aware that everybody has to make a contribution, whether they are starting the game or finishing,” he said.

“It was pleasing that the two subs created and scored, but credit to the whole starting 11 that I thought played well.

“Defensively we were strong and we opened the Dutch up with a few chances and their goalkeeper played really well, making good saves to keep them in it.

“We’re very pleased to have won the opening two matches. We knew this would be an extremely difficult group.”
